Hi all,I am finally going to get an Instant Pot and have three questions:
First, any recommendations or advice regarding whether new IP or last year's model. (As a vegan, I obviously won't be using the yogurt feature on the new one.)
And, any recommendations for a vegan pressure cooker cookbook? I make a lot of soups, chili, etc. and plan to use the IP primarily for this and for cooking beans. I've never used a pressure cooker before.
Finally, any advice for adapting my stovetop soup recipes to the pressure cooker?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!Marianne
I have two vegan pressure cooker cookbooks. http://www.amazon.com/New-Fast-Food-Pressure-MInutes/dp/0976708515/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389550013&sr=1-1&keywords=veggie+queenand http://www.amazon.com/Great-Vegetarian-Cooking-Under-Pressure-ebook/dp/B00BHEJ4G4/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389550044&sr=1-3&keywords=lorna+sassI love them both and use them a lot.
I have the older model, have had it about a year so can't speak to the difference. I wouldn't use the yogurt feature, but there are some that make vegan yogurts that might find it a benefit.
There's an Instant Pot Plant food group on Facebook, there may be some people there that can give you a better explanation of the difference. https://www.facebook.com/groups/160489884083690/
Hope that helps.

One suggestion about the Instant Pot, get the larger size. I have the smaller one and am always wishing I had the larger size because I make a lot of soups and cook a lot of beans.
I love the old Instant Pot so if the new one has improvements, either one would be great.
Here are some great videos on how to cook with the Instant Pot:Steamed Kalehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzvF3ADOUUc
Split Pea Souphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBx9rJg16HA
Red Lentil Chilihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOfxvkqjIS4
I learned a lot from the Instant Pot website:http://instantpot.com/
and Lani's Slimming Lentil Soup goes well in the electric pressure cooker: http://www.lanimuelrath.com/diet-nutrition/my-simple-soup-trick-to-up-your-veggie-count-and-get-your-skinny-on-video/
Wow -- thanks for the great advice and resources! I've decided to go with the newest IP, which is pretty huge ...
Reading up in the recommended recipe books and will start with one of them as well
I'll post my experiences after I've had a month or two to try it all out.

sfgreydog, looks like you've gotten some great cookbook tips - and CONGRATS on the IP purchase! I am finding it hard to remember how I got by without one for so long - and that from someone who's been using the 'old fashioned' kind of pressure cooker for years!
I've a couple more recipes and ideas you might enjoy here:
The same page has my Instant Pot review.
Lani Muelrath, M.A. CGFI, CPBN Fit Quickies: The Plant-Based Fitness Book
Thanks, Lani.
Turns out the IP is backordered, so I won't be able to start cooking with it for another month-plus. But that will give me time to read up on using it, selecting first recipes, etc.
Oh dear! Well, may it be speedier than you think - arrival that is!
Hope you took advantage of the $45 discount on the page link I posted! Takes a big chunk off the price. If not, you could probably cancel your order and then reorder at discount - it brings the price down from over $150 to $114.
Keep me posted and let me know when she arrives!
double post - I had gotten an error message, so thought that it didn't 'take'.

I've been trying to decide whether to order the Instant Pot from their website or Amazon. I was wondering if your discount code would still work, Lani. Do you know if they charge for shipping? The Instant Pot rep. told me they might be in sooner on Amazon. They're $125 there but if they charge for shipping on Instantpot.com, it might be about the same or less depending on the shipping charges.

Instant Pot did NOT charge me for shipping when I ordered via their site using the fitquickies code. Same for others who have done likewise. You can run it through yourself or simply send cust service a quick note to ask. But in my experience, no shipping!
Thanks, Lani. I should have asked about shipping when I asked about availability.
Hi Lani, I ordered through Amazon because I had a gift certificate that made buying it now possible.
But for anyone else considering, I'd suggest going through the link on Lani's excellent review. Support her indepth reporting in the IP --and you'll even save a little over Amazon's price, too

considers the nature of literary interpretation by introducing students to concepts, debates and controversies in criticism today. Students learn about common critical terms and theoretical approaches and apply these terms and approaches to a variety of fictional texts, such as drama, short stories, poetry and novels.

Enjoy a private Orlando International airport transfer with professional driver.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort (4*) consists of five brightly-colored "villages" surrounding a sparkling 45-acre lake. A themed water-recreation area includes an island fortress complete with mini-slides and waterfalls. Non-smoking and handicap accessible accommodations are available. Amenities consist of a restaurant, food court and lounge, limited room service, gift shop, guest laundry facilities and dry cleaning/laundry service. Recreational facilities include swimming pools, watersports and access to tennis and golf. For children there are wading pools, playground and in-room babysitting is available. There is a complimentary transportation to Disney Theme Parks via motor coach.
SeaWorld invites you to come on a journey of a lifetime and discover the wonders that lie below the surface of the oceans. You'll never look at the sea and its inhabitants in the same way again. Manta lets you find out what it's like to spin, glide, skim and fly like a giant ray when you experience the only flying rollercoaster of its kind in the world. Consistently ranked one of the world's top coasters by ride enthusiasts, this blazing fast floorless steel coaster rises high above the horizon, daring you to take it on. Shamu's Happy Harbor is just the sort of place that proves there's never been a cooler time to be a kid. Bring out the young adventurer in your kids with these fun, family rides including Shamu Express, the first rollercoaster in the park for all the family. Younger children will love the four storeys of climbing nets and tunnels, the nine slides and maze for splashing about in the water.
Meet your driver for a private transfer from hotel to Port Canaveral.
Welcome aboard your Disney cruise ship!
Take some time to get settled in, and expect to meet some new cruise friends this evening at your first dinner on board.
Port charges are included in your itinerary.
The Disney Fantasy is a regal cruise liner featuring 14 towering decks, a ship length of 1,115 feet and a maximum width of 125 feet, the 130,000-ton vessel includes 1,250 staterooms and has the capacity to comfortably accommodate 4,000 passengers—along with the over 1450 Cast and Crew Members who tend to the needs of every cruise Guest each and every day. The Disney Fantasy is a majestic sailing vessel where early 20th-century design—recalling the golden age of cruising—meets state-of-the-art technology. As can be expected from Disney, the cruise liner was specially designed with families in mind, combining sleek style and convenient facilities with splashes of Disney magic.
Today is a full day spent relaxingly at sea. Entertainment aboard the Disney Fantasy, including spectacular musical live shows and first-run movies in 3-D, is available at a number of lavish onboard venues each day of your cruise—and is unlike anything else offered on the high seas.
Spend this day at sea poolside, as pools aboard the Disney Fantasy are terrific places to cool down and relax on sun-kissed afternoons. On Deck 11, you'll find 3 sparkling pools- one for kids, one for families, and one just for adults. Later in the evening, nightclubs and lounges fill nights at sea with live music, dancing and socializing.
The smallest island in the world ever to have been partitioned between two different nations, St. Martin/St. Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighborly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years. The border is almost imperceptible. and people cross back and forth without ever realizing they are entering a new country. There are four boundries, Belle Vue / Cole Bay, French Quarter / Dutch Quarter, Low Lands / Copecoy and Oyster Pond, testifying to centuries of peaceful cohabitation and the treaty that made the arrangement possible.
St. Thomas and St. John of the U.S. Virgin Islands make up one of the exciting ports of call on this cruise. Once largely occupied by Dutch-owned sugar cane plantations and pirates of the Caribbean, they are today some of the most popular tropical tourist destinations in the world. Visitors of all ages can enjoy a wide range of recreation suited for relaxation and invigoration across the U.S. Virgin Islands. From golfing to snorkeling, shopping and sunbathing, interest in the U.S. Virgin Islands as havens for vacationers has transformed them over the years into world-class retreats.
This day at sea offers plenty of time for the young ones to have fun and socialize in the various Disney-themed kids clubs. Immersive interactive programs and activities are designed to allow their imaginations to soar. Deck 11's Arr-cade is a fun spot featuring the newest videogames and arcade-style excitement.
'Castaway Cay' is a private island in the Bahamas which serves as an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships. It is located near Great Abaco Island, and was formerly known as Gorda Cay. It is owned in full by The Walt Disney Company, giving them substantial control over the experience of visitors to the island. The island is developed in the theme of a castaway community, with buildings made to look as if they had been improvised after a shipwreck. The facilities are maintained like any other Disney theme park, and the shops accept guests' stateroom keys for payment.
This morning you'll disembark from your cruise vessel, as your magical voyage has concluded. Bid farewell to your favourite Disney characters as you leave.
Meet your driver for a private transfer from Port Canaveral to Orlando.

Just In Case
People often hold on to things just in case they need them. They don't let go because they might need something in the future. And they pack too much stuff for trips and vacations just in case they might need it.
But we needn't hold on to these things just in case. The truth is, we rarely use these just in case items, and thus they sit there, take up space, get in the way, and weigh us down. Most of the time they aren't items we need at all.
Instead, if we remove the just in case items from our lives, we can get them out of the way, we can free up the space they consume.
Over the last year, the two of us let go of the vast majority of our just in case items. And during our 33 City Meetup Tour, we made sure we didn't pack any just in case items.
And then we tested our theory…
20/20 Theory
Anything we get rid of that we truly need, we can replace for less than $20, in less than 20 minutes from our current location. Thus far, this theory has held true 100% of the time. Although we've rarely had to replace a just in case item (less than five times this year for the two of us combined), we've never had to pay more than $20 or go more than 20 minutes out of our way to replace the item. This theory likely works 99% of the time for 99% of all items and 99% of all people. Including you.
More importantly, we haven't missed the hundreds of just in case items we got rid of, and we didn't need to replace most of them at all.
Getting rid of these items clears one's mind, frees up their space, and takes the weight off their shoulders.
What are you holding on to just in case?

The AS/400. The System i. The i Series. The IBM i.
The platform that's come to be known as the IBM i platform has had many preceding names. At ASNA, we've struggled internally with what to call the platform in our sales and product documentation documents. We've decided that to minimize the noise, we're only going to the call the platform the "IBM i." That's generally what we've seen the IBM i midrange press settle on—and it seems to make the most sense to us.

So now that we've all seen the fantastic Hot Fuzz (hopefully more than once), what are the little details you noticed; especially the 2nd/3rd/etc time around?
One thing I noticed was the little sound-effects punctuating certain camera shots throughout the movie.
*Like when Danny reacts to Nicholas saying he'd been stabbed before, you hear the cash register go off with a "ka-ching!"
*Or the exchange between Bill Bailey & Simon on Angel's first morning at work, you hear the phone ring in the background each time the camera's on Bill.
*And during the shoot-out; the fruit machine noises when Angel pops up from behind the table in the pub, & then the camera pans down from the animal trap hanging from the ceiling, to the pub owners crouching behind the bar. It sounds like an old computer game!
It's the attention to detail, & multi-layering, that makes us love the fine work of Pegg/Wright/Frost so much. So, share the joy & amusement, people.
Feel the love.

Intel and Micron's recent announcement that their collective superhero body, appropriately named IM Flash, is sampling 25nm flash chips has been accompanied with a whirlwind tour of their Utah production facilities for a few lucky journalists.
PC Perspective bring us the atmospheric photo above, along with some videos, as they prance about one of the most hallowed (and cleanest) environments known to gadget lovers.
Apart from the die shrink, the lads also discuss Intel's reputed plans for a G3 SSD refresh some time "later this year" with snappier controllers onboard, which apparently was echoed by Micron who also intend to pump out faster processors with their SSD products.

Set aside in the early 1920's by the forethought of the people of California and the generosity of the Save-the-Redwoods League, Prairie Creek is a 14,000 acre sanctuary of old growth coast redwood. Designated as a World Heritage Site & International Biosphere Preserve, The park has over 280 Save-the-Redwoods League memorial groves. Prairie Creek offers hiking, nature study, wildlife viewing, beach combing, fishing, picnicking, a visitor center with exhibits and a nature store.
There are over 75 miles of hiking trails through verdant forests and along wild and scenic beaches. As the park is a preserve of uncut forest, all trails lead you through the world's tallest trees. Nowhere can you better appreciate the splendor of a ancient redwood forest. Take time to walk some of the many and varied trails. There are all-day hikes and short leisurely strolls. The terrain is relatively mild with only 800 FT elevation gain through out the park.
Watch for native Roosevelt elk in the prairie along the N.B. Drury Scenic Parkway and on spectacular Gold Bluffs Beach. Gray whale, rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, mink, otter, fox coyote, mountain lion, bobcat, and bear might also be spotted. And of course the infamous banana slug, an important and welcome resident of the forest, is readily viewable.
Over 260 species of birds have been sighted within the park boundaries. The combination of open prairie, forest, stream side woodlands, coastal headlands, beach and ocean provides a wide variety of habitats. Some species special note include the spotted owl and marbled murrelet, both believed to dependent on old growth forest.

While I was in San Sebastian, Spain I spoke with Gabriella Ranelli about local speciality pintxos. In Hostelworld.com's latest podcast, San Sebastian - Pintxos: A local speciality, we talk about the best places to try a variety of pintxos, what to drink with them and more.
The podcast was recorded after a trip around some of San Sebastian's top pintxos bars, many of which are mentioned in the interview. As we spoke, I learned how to identify popular bars by the amount of napkins on the floor, where to get the best tortilla de patatas in the city, and all about thimbles of beer.
If you'd like to listen to or download our San Sebastian podcast, you'll find it here.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

The limiting magnitude achievable with photographic plates depends on several factors including plate scale, sky brightness, seeing, and granularity and contrast of the emulsion. As an approximate guide, at the AAT prime focus in 1" seeing, the limiting B stellar magnitudes are:
B = 24.5 for IIIa J emulsion, in a typical exposure time of 80 minutes, and
B = 23.5 for IIa O emulsion, in a typical exposure time of 25 minutes.
The corresponding limiting magnitudes at the f/8 Cassegrain focus are:
B = 25.4 for IIIa J, 6 hour exposure, and
B = 24.5 for IIa O, 2.5 hour exposure.
With the IIIa J emulsion the effective pixel size is 0.3" at the prime focus and 0.1" at the Cassegrain focus.
The practical detection limit for extended objects using photographic amplification techniques is approximately 5.5 magnitudes below the night sky brightness on sky-limited III or IV-N emulsions, i.e. B=28 mag/arcsec2.

A gold record is a big moment for any band.
For Cursive, it was a cheesy one.
This week, the Omaha indie rock band's frontman, Tim Kasher, opened a package containing a framed, yellow copy of Cursive's "Domestica." And the "gold" record is made of (what else?) Velveeta.
The record was a present from Velveeta to Kasher for writing about Velveeta Shells & Cheese in a recent newspaper story. The frame is filled partway with pasta, includes a bag of cheese sauce and has a hammer in case Kasher has a "Shells & Cheese emergency" and needs to break the glass.
Velveeta sent the package as part of its "Eat Liquid Gold" marketing campaign — and, of course, for a laugh.
Kasher's Cursive bandmate Matt Maginn, who co-owns O'Leaver's Pub in Omaha with Kasher, asked him if they should hang up the record at the bar, which has walls papered with old record covers and a tiki bar, too.
"It sort of fits our absurdist vibe," Maginn said. "But I hear it is made of real cheese and will likely mold over soon. Or maybe not for a while since it is processed!"
With his Saddle Creek Records labelmates Bright Eyes winning a real gold record earlier in the week, Kasher took to Twitter to joke about it: "Dear Bright Eyes, look who else went gold this week."
The label even got in on the joke with a post that read, "Cursive's 'Domestica' went 'Liquid Gold' this week. Congrats guys!"
Kasher got a kick out of the whole thing.
"It's a funny achievement to get," he told The World-Herald. "A lot of congratulations came in. Some of them sounded sincere, so either they're really good at dry humor or perhaps they ... got to Twitter, looked at it and were like, 'Ooo, a gold record.'"
The prank all started because Kasher loves mac 'n' cheese.
A few weeks ago, the Chicago Reader newspaper asked him to write about his favorite Chicago spots to find the cheesy pasta. Kasher wrote about Schubas, a music venue and restaurant, and Kuma's Corner, a popular restaurant.
And then he wrote about his third favorite: a box of Velveeta's Shells & Cheese.
"Some of the best mac 'n' cheese I'll ever have is at home. Velveeta Shells & Cheese — when I cough up the big bucks ($2.79-ish), versus the usual Kraft blue box ($1.29-ish) or some generic brand you can find three for a buck — is the closest thing (along with Saturday nights watching "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island") I can find to perfection in the world," he wrote for the paper.
Over the next week, he and fans joked about Velveeta on Twitter.
"I'll eat a Velveeta brick house," he said, which prompted someone from Velveeta to send him a photo of a house made out of Velveeta bricks. The sidewalk was made of pasta shells.
Dear Bright Eyes, look who else went gold this week (it's really cheese and really weird) thank you @eatliquidgold twitter.com/timkasher/stat…— Tim Kasher (@timkasher) May 9, 2013
And later that week, a package arrived.
The record is made of actual Velveeta. A pseudo-plaque (really a packet of cheese sauce) reads "Presented to Tim Kasher to commemorate the taste of his record Domestica going liquid gold for long loving Shells & Cheese."
On the bottom is another inscription: "Note: in case of Shells & Cheese emergency, break glass and heat."
Kasher was well aware that it was part of the company's marketing campaign, but he thought it was pretty impressive.
For now, it's sitting in his home. Though he talked about what to do with the cheesy record, he's not really sure where to put it.
"It's already emitting a little bit of a scent," he said while laughing. "I already joked, 'Should I keep it in the freezer?'"

I'm a REALLY old Weezer fan. I'm a guy who's 58, which I guess is a big negative, but I am normal and reasonably safe, which is pretty good. And I'm not boring and I am fun. I really don't care much about sleeping arrangements, so I am looking for people to share a 4-person or maybe 2-person cabin. Just thought I'd bring it up for discussion. Even if I scare away everyone out there, maybe other people can use this thread to find cabinmates. I can't believe this cruise isn't sold out yet. It's going to be the best party ever.

Excellent! Where would you guys be coming from? We're coming from Burbank, CA
Four people living in close quarters is always going to be a bit of a challenge. But it saves money, and if we all have the right attitude, it could be almost fun. Certainly memorable. And don't worry about your husband snoring. I can sleep through my wife's snoring, and she can make the whole house rattle. I asked my wife if I snore, and she said only a little bit. I suspect that on the cruise, when we do sleep we'll be so tired that nothing will really bother us. Luckily, my wife is not a Weezer or hard rock fan, so this cruise is not for her. Works out for me, since it will me cost half as much without her.
Hi Judy!
Rachel here. I'm still totally interested. Found your forum :)
I'm not a real regular poster here. I don't pay a lot of attention to the form stuff. I've got my head buried in thesis stuff and have been working my butt off and forums aren't my thing.
But, I'm definitely up for saving hundreds of dollars and being a nice roommate!

Cool. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
My husband is in the military and we're moving to DC in Dec. So, I'll be coming from Dulles by then, instead of CA, which actually makes my flight to Miami a little cheaper, which is nice. When I told him I could potentially be in a 4-pack instead of trying to make this single traveller thing work, he was pretty pleased at saving some money. I wish he would/could just come with me! Oh well.
Since Judy is the only one who met me though....
I'm 33. I'm a grad student at CSULB about to graduate this spring. I'm married and we have a 4 1/2 year old son. I'm pretty mellow by most standards.
** each person is responsible for paying their own deposit. No one has to handle everyone's money!
I can't say that I'm sad to see Nathan go. I'm still on board if everyone else is.
What a series of good luck! Getting to go to Nerd Night II, meeting Judy! This is going to be a great trip.
Hi Judy and Rachel. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I was at a baseball game tonight and just got home. I spoke to Sixthman (cruise company) today. It's a little tricky on payments. The "lead" person has to book the cabin, paying $299 per person ($1200) to make the reservation. Then the final payment date is November 21 for the full balance (a total of $718 per person). If full payment is not made not madeby then, or shortly thereafter, the cabin will be cancelled and no refund given.
Changes to the people in the room can be made for no cost through November 21, then it would cost $75 per person name change until a week before the cruise, then $100 during the last week.
Travel insurance is $59 for basic insurance (covering cancellation due to medical emergency, possibly cancelled flights, etc., and medical expenses reimbursement) For $88.50, the policy covers all the basic insurance items, plus "cancel for any reason" which means you can change your mind and get your money back. BUT if all 4 people don't get the "cancel for any reason" policy and one cancels, the lead person is technically on the hook for the deposits if a replacement cabinmates are not found.
It's sounds a little confusing, but as long as no one cancels under "for any reason," or everyone cancels under the "cancel for any reason" policy, there's no problem. Insurance is a good idea anyway, and if we all agreed to get the $88.50 policy we would be safer. That raises the price from $718 to $806.50, but we would be insured against any losses for any reason. The hardest part is figuring out who would be the lead person. I'm a little afaraid of putting up $1200 and then hoping everyone comes through, even though I somehow feel I can trust you guys.
Judy, maybe you should call them tomorrow and see if there's anyway we can each pay our $299 on our own, but they seemed to say the "lead" person must pay 4 x $299 to book the room. The good news is that the woman from Sixthman said that they shouldn't be selling out of these 4-packs very soon, so we have a few days or more to figure it out.
One last idea if the lead person must put up the whole $1200 him/herself. You could check me out for honesty, and put the $299 into my PayPal account, which I've had for years, and then I could pay for everyone in order to book the cabin. After that, we can each pay our balances on each bill ourselves.
I still think this could work out. Let me know what you think. - Andy Bauman
Judy T. White said:
Hi Rachel,
Tomorrow I'll be calling the cruise people (877-379-9171)to ask them about insurance prices (just in case...) and I'll book a 4 pack (if I can do it over the phone, I will. If not, I'll do it when I come home from work)
I'm a little worried because I haven't heard from Andy today. So, Andy if you get this, please confirm!... Show your =w= love!!!

Sat 3:30pm-10pm
THIS PLACE IS NOT CLOSED!!! The owner, Jack, is an Italian Guru! You MUST try this place if you value authentic and delicious Italian cuisine.
The reviews were really mixed, but we went anyways. Wait service was very nice. But the guy (owner?) was just a little too much of an annoyance. Speaking of annoyed. We all got a double-side, single sheet, PAPER menu that had been on quite a few tables before ours. No wine list. No web site. On the plus side, salads were fresh. Food was mostly good. Although when we got the left-over pizza home, and in the daylight, there were a number of stray "hairs" of uniform length and color. Most likely a pastry brush going bald. Overall, can't say I'd do it again.
Unbelieve everything. If you live anywhere near this place its a must go. The food is outstanding. There is not a southend place that offers portion sizes, quality or the feel of a place like this. Do yourself a favor and try it. BTW Irae Pagofie performs there a couple times a month and is a huge added bonus. The staff makes you feel like they have known you for years. My husband and i will be back for sure.
Best Authentic Homemade Italian Dishes Around! – Our Family discovered this cute little Italian place a few months back when passing through town. The service was super, but the food, omgosh ,some of the tastiest food we've EVER eaten! We couldn't stop eating off each others dishes! Flavors so savoury we make sure we make a detour off the highway to visit here when we're coming throught the Seattle/Tacoma area.
Even the chef, he made our dining experience exceptional by recommending a great wine, and then personally stopped by our table to see if we were loving our food (this is a regular practice of his, as we have now eaten here multiple times!)
But it even got better when a couple of weeks ago my husband and I stopped in and there was live entertainment!...This guy was amazing! He complimented everything else that was already going on in this tiny spot in Auburn Washington...We even got up and danced! .. and then, some of the others that were also dining there got up and dance too! It was so much Fun! Great atmosphere and Great Food! Definately a memorable time.
And I also want to include this... that after our first couple of visits, we looked on-line to get the address to send to a friend, and we discovered some real negativity that some have written concerning this place..and well, that's not our experience! We love this place and we'll keep coming back everytime we're in town..
Best Italian Outside Seattle! – I don't understand the negative reviews on this restaurant?! Sure its not a brand new place but to call it dirty is a huge overstatement. Simply put, if you're looking for great Italian food this place cannot be beat! Jack, the owner was very helpful in recommending a good wine for a dinner and the staff was very attentive and helpful. We were told of specials of the day, all of which seemed very different and unique. My wife had the Cod and was in absolute heaven. If you went here a while ago and had a bad experience, I recommend you give it another shot because the food was phenomenal and the service matched!
Dirty, in every sense of the word – Owner was standing directly in front of entrance, smoking and repeatedly setting his glass of beer on the sidewalk. We thought he was a homeless guy and walked around him to enter the restaurant.
We had a gift certificate in hand, purchased just yesterday. The owner saw it, intercepted us, demanding to know when we bought it.
"I'm not accepting gift certificates anymore. Call them and get your money back."
"Excuse me? It's a purchased gift certificate, not a coupon from the newspaper. It's a legally binding contract."
"If you'll spend at least $50 I'll honor the $25 gift certificate."
"How 'bout you just refund our money?"
"I'm not going to take money out of my cash register and give it to you."
We looked inside the restaurant, completely unimpressed by the rather dirty-looking tables and boring decor, and decided to take a pass on his "offer."
What a dirt bag. And now we have a useless gift certificate for which I'm sure he's collected his share.
I just have one thing to say,DON'T EVER COME HERE – If I could give it NO STARS I would. Should you not follow my advise, please make sure your health insurance is fully paid
Great Italian cuisine with attentive service – Visited this Auburn landmark this past weekend had the 20 oz NY steak and it was superb, my wife had the scallops and was in heaven. Service was attentive, bar area was lively ( 9pm we were there). Definite gem !
Best Italian food – Jack cooks the best Italian food I have had.....I have traveled the world and he knows knows how to put it together....great wine...his staff is great....they are so friendly....you just go in once and come back they remember you.....give it a try....

We may want to consider:
1) A RB who will actually hold onto the ball...
2) A deep threat WR who actually wants to catch the ball...
3) A backup QB who can actually throw the ball...
...before we consider Manti Te'o...

It's also funny on a website that I respect a great amount that watches countless hours of game footage mentioned three linebackers as his winners and none of their name was Foote.
Focusing on Foote's play yesterday is akin to worrying about a pimple when you've just been bitten by a Black Mamba. He may be an average linebacker, but it was the offense that was utterly and entirely useless yesterday. In reality, Batch, i.e., Methuselah, looked like he was throwing wiffle balls in a wind tunnel.
The fact that we were within 6 points at the end, in spite of our offense handing the opposition tremendous field position again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, meant that our defensive effort yesterday was absolutely HUGE. We had ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS being in that game at all based on how pitiful our offense was, but our defense still somehow kept us in the game until the very end. Props to everyone on our defense (including Larry Foote, who had a tremendous strip of the ball from Richardson late in the game that everyone agrees should have been rule a fumble at a crucial stage of the game).

This booking form is provided by Gecko Trail Adventures who will process your booking and provide customer service. Contact them if you have questions.
Our Animal Rescue Centre, Chocolate Lady and Waterfall trip combines three of our favorite local activities. It includes:
The Jaguar Rescue Center offers shelter, treatment and protection to ill or wounded wild animals in the South Caribbean area.
The Center is run by Sandro, an expert in poisonous snakes, and Encar, a biologist with a vast experience with looking after wild mammals in captivity.
Sandro and Encar started the Jaguar Center with the aim of saving the lives of as many animals that come in to the shelter, as well as trying to re-introduce them to their natural habitat, the forests of the South Caribbean.
Got Goat's Milk?
If you're visiting the center, you can help out by bringing with you to Costa Rica a can or two of Meyenberg Powdered Goat's Milk for the abandoned Howler Monkeys and Sloth babies at the center. They also need a product called Bene-Bac which is used for treating animals with intestinal problems. Unfortunately, neither of these products is available in Costa Rica.
Their house has become a sanctuary for wild animals and they try to accommodate their jungle guests as well as they can: terrariums for the snakes, large spaces for the Congo monkeys to rest in after spending the whole day playing in the gardens trees, special quarantine cages for the animals arriving seriously injured and also a large supply of medicine and an operating theatre for emergency surgery if necessary.
Your visit helps support the work of the centre. Jaguar animal rescue centre photos by Lori Sorrentino.
Next we will visit an indigenous family where they make chocolate from the Cacao trees growing beside their house. You will learn and see demonstrated the process by which the cacao fruit is transformed into delicious and unique chocolate. You will have an opportunity to purchase some chocolate or other indigenous made handicrafts here. Note that part of the family speaks very limited English so if you don't speak Spanish your explanation of the process may take the form of a pantomine!
«Manuel was an excellent guide, providing us with a wealth of information throughout the trip. Magnificent tour!»
«So impressed with Gecko. Corresponded to e-mails immediately. Our guide was very personalbe and went out of his way to see that our wishes were met.»
«Manuel was great. I feel he showed us more than we were expecting and explained things with much detail. He also took us to a great restaurant with beautiful view.»
Finally, you and your driver/guide will take a short hike (about 10 minutes through
the jungle where you can see local plants, red frogs and butterflies) to a waterfall where you can enjoy swimming in the pristine nature pools.
Note: Your feet might get wet while exploring the waterfall, so make sure to wear appropriate shoes or bring an extra pair for changing after the hike

The article on Salon.com was called "The Unbearable Whiteness of Being." A clever play, of course, on The Unbearable Lightness of Being, the dark, sexy novel and film by Czech writer Milan Kundera.
White people like going to foreign films, according to Christian Lander, the subject of the Salon interview and founder of the satirical blog: "Stuff White People Like." They also like irony, Lander says. And "the idea of soccer." And farmers markets. And gifted children. Netflix, nonprofits, and "knowing what's best for poor people."
Lander is 29, a native of Toronto, now living in Culver City, Calif. He is, by his own whiteness test on the website, "91 percent white." He's also a funny guy who has hit on a gently mocking style that pokes fun at urbane, educated, left-leaning whites – his own people. And, by definition, a healthy chunk of Telluride people, or Ridgway people, or people you know who live in San Francisco.
In fact, San Francisco is number 91 on Lander's list of stuff white people like. Hating corporations comes in at number 82, just behind attending (but not necessarily finishing) grad school and just ahead of "having gay friends." Film festivals rank way up there at number three. Farmers markets are number five. The Sunday New York Times appears at number 46, just behind sushi and public radio, and just ahead of the Toyota Prius. The Salon writer Katharine Mieszkowski likens the list to a "you might be a redneck if" joke "recast for a more upscale set."
Organic food comes in at number six. Seven is "diversity." Eight is a passion for Barack Obama. Nonprofits earn high praise at number 12. Yoga is 15. Followed by "awareness" (18), traveling (19), writer's workshops (21), having two last names (22), and microbrews (23).
Bottled water (76), earned a full, tongue-in-cheek explanation from Lander: "It's all about ranking. It's essentially a contest. It used to be that bottled water was the status symbol. You drink Evian, or you drink Fiji… But advanced level white people, the higher-ranking white people, realized that they were creating a lot of waste, and so they switched over to the Nalgene bottle. That also reminded them of going camping. So then they could take a stance of superiority over the people who were drinking bottled water. And then, that whole story came out about Nalgenes leaching I don't know what the exact toxin is [Bisphenol A]. So then super-advanced white people went even further and got those metal Sigg bottles, and now you have this really solid hierarchy and ranking of white people: commercial bottled water, Nalgene bottle, and either glass or metal, twist-top bottles."
In other words, your water bottle is one more way "to claim superiority over regular-level or subpar white people," along with your Prius, your carbon offsets, your reusable shopping bags, etc., etc.
At number 25 David Sedaris was one of a handful of individuals named on the list, along with Obama, filmmaker Michel Gondry, and Stephen Colbert. "It's hard to talk about it [Sedaris]. It's like talking about a love of oxygen. It's just there… he's funny, and he lives in France, and he's gay. He's like everything you could possibly want in an ideal friend. Oh, and he also writes for The New Yorker. He hits so many things on the list it's unbelievable."
Sedaris may be an acquired taste on the Western Slope, but everybody here owns "outdoor performance clothes," number 87 on Lander's list. "From the time white people are raised, they're taught that being indoors is a bad thing, and that it's always better to be outside. So they're always on this constant quest to be camping or bicycling or eating outside, whatever it takes to get outside. The more time you spend outside the more credibility you have to dump on other people for not going outside."
Lest anyone mistake Lander's satire for something mean-spirited, he has subtitled his book: "The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions." Like all successful social critics, his aim is to pop unexamined balloons. To his own, rather smug, Caucasian minority, he is saying: take a look in the mirror.
Nobody likes being defined too closely. Number 101 on the "Stuff White People Like" list is "being offended." So there.
And number one? Coffee.

Show Detailed Description
- Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia (BL) is highly treatable, but most of the standard therapies require multiple doses of intensive chemotherapy that may require long hospital stays and frequently have severe side effects. In addition, BL is a fairly common type of cancer in patients who also have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but treatment outcomes are poor because standard treatments do not work very well in HIV-positive patients and the more intense treatment regimens are highly toxic. New approaches are needed that expand the ways to treat BL with the same efficiency but with reduced side effects.
- DA-EPOCH-R is a standard chemotherapy treatment that consists of the drugs etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab. It may be able to treat BL with similar effectiveness but with fewer side effects. Researchers are interested in confirming the results of previous studies that investigated the effectiveness of DA-EPOCH-R in treating BL.
- To determine the safety and effectiveness of DA-EPOCH-R in treating Burkitt lymphoma.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma and have not had any prior chemotherapy treatments.
- Individuals will have a series of blood and other tests to determine their suitability for participating in the study. Eligible participants will be divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on their disease prognosis and the possibility that the BL may or already has spread into the central nervous system.
- Participants will receive intravenous infusion of the six chemotherapy drugs in DA-EPOCH-R in 21-day treatment cycles. The exact doses will be adjusted depending on participants white blood cell counts and other tests.
- High-risk participants will receive six cycles of DA-EPOCH-R. To treat BL that may have entered the central nervous system, high-risk participants will also receive infusions of other chemotherapy drugs into their spinal fluid.
- Low-risk participants will receive up to six cycles of DA-EPOCH-R, with an additional dose of rituximab during each cycle.
- Frequent blood and urine tests will be performed during treatment, as well as body imaging scans and other tests of cancer progression as directed by the study doctors. Participants will receive additional medicines to help prevent possible adverse side effects of DA-EPOCH-R.
- Participants who respond successfully to the treatment will be asked to return for follow-up exams every 3 months for the first 18 months, then every year for the next 3 years. Participants who do not respond successfully to the treatment will be given the opportunity to participate in additional research and treatment protocols, if any are available.

Nicole Lucas
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of EPOCH-R in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric trials
- Pathology confirmed by treating institution s Pathology Department.
- No prior treatment except patients may be entered if they have had prior limited-field radiotherapy, a short course of glucocorticoids and/or cyclophosphamide for an urgent problem at diagnosis (e.g. epidural cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome).
- All disease stages.
- HIV negative or positive.
- HIV positive patients on antiretrovival therapy regimen must be willing to suspend all Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) except in circumstances described in section 6.5.
Ability of patient or durable power of attorney (DPA) for healthcare to give informed consent.
- In the interest of completing the CALGB 50303 study, Alliance members should consider enrolling patients with a diagnosis of DLBCL onto the CALGB 50303 study.
- Inadequate renal function, defined as serum Cr > 1.5 or creatinine clearance < 50ml/min/1.73m2 unless lymphoma related.

Turkey to Eliminate Driftnets in 2011
About a month after Morocco announced it would ban illegal driftnets in the Mediterranean, Turkey has followed suit, announcing it will stop using the destructive fishing gear next year.
The decision follows intense campaigning by our European colleagues, who estimate that more than 500 vessels have been operating illegally in the Mediterranean, some with nets up to 12 miles long. It's estimated that thousands of creatures, including whales, dolphins, sharks and sea turtles, are trapped by the indiscriminate fishing gear each year.

Morocco Bans Driftnets
Great news in the battle against illegal fishing: Morocco has passed an amendment banning the use, possession, manufacture or sale of driftnets.
Known as "curtains of death," driftnets are a type of illegal fishing gear that can be nearly 100 feet high and 12 miles long. Because they are so passive and indiscriminate, driftnets snag whatever's in their path, including many marine mammals and other endangered species.
The UN passed an international moratorium on driftnets 15 years ago, and the EU instituted a ban seven years ago, but many French, Italian and Moroccan vessels have continued using them.

This week marks the first anniversary of the Affordable Care Act - a law that ensures all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care and significantly reduces long-term health care costs. The Affordable Care Act is also designed to put you, not the health insurance companies, back in charge of your health care. Because of the Affordable Care Act:
- If you are a young adult, you can now stay on your parents' health plan until your 26th birthday, if you do not have coverage of your own.
- If you are among 4 million eligible small businesses, you can receive tax credits if you choose to offer coverage to your employees - covering 35% of the cost of coverage.
- If you are a child under age 19, you can no longer be denied coverage by an insurance company for having a "pre-existing condition."
- Your insurance company can no longer place a lifetime limit on your coverage. Such limits have caused some families to declare bankruptcy.
- If you are a senior, you will now be receiving a 50% discount on brand-name drugs if you enter the Medicare Part D 'donut hole' coverage gap - a discount that grows until the 'donut hole' is closed in 2020.
- You can no longer be dropped from coverage by your insurance company simply because you get sick.
- Your insurance company can no longer place restrictive annual limits on your coverage - with annual limits completely eliminated by 2014.
- If you are in a new plan, you now have free coverage of key preventive services, such as immunizations, mammograms, and other cancer screenings.
- Your insurance company must now spend at least 80 percent of premiums on covering medical services - rather than administrative expenses, CEO pay, and profits.
- Your insurance company must now publish on the Internet detailed justifications for any premium increases they are seeking that are more than 10 percent.

The woman escaped and ran to a nearby home for help after the man put his gun down. Her father then called police.
The student said she parked her car about 7:45 a.m. and was gathering her belongings when the man opened the door, forced her to the passenger side and drove away while pointing the gun at her.
He took her across the Susquehanna River to Enola, parked the car and forced the woman to walk into a wooded area along Conodoguinet Creek, where he tried to force himself on her but she got away, police said.
The man took her car back to the community college parking lot and left it there. He remains at large.
The ordeal lasted about 45 minutes.
The victim described her attacker as a white man between 35 and 50 years old, with a slight build, short reddish hair, a goatee and wire-rimmed glasses.
The college advised students to be alert but said there is no immediate danger. It plans to review its safety and security policies.
Police are trying to determine whether the abduction is linked to a weekend assault in a Harrisburg city park.
